Abstract:
A quantitative model of temporal integration and visible persistence is described and tested. The model treats visible persistence as resulting from processing activity within sustained visual channels whose temporal response is modelled using a second-order control system. Temporal integration of two successive stimuli is assumed to be enabled by the overlap between the two periods of activity and to be impaired by the non-overlapping activity. The model successfully predicts the effects of inter-stimulus interval and of stimulus duration on goodness of temporal integration.
